Translation of the song 아카시아 artist MoonMoon

우리 빈 잔을 채워요

Let's fill our empty glasses

내가 쓸 데 없이 빈 말하지 않게

So I don't uselessly say empty words

부디 진담을 나눠요

Let's have a serious conversation

말의 무거움이 증발하지 않게

So the heaviness of our words doesn't evaporate

하늘이 엎질러놓은 구름 밑

Under the clouds scattered by the sky

떨어질 소나길 받아낼 무덤이

Is a grave that will be watered by the coming shower

아무 이름도 없는 사람이

Of a person who doesn't even have a name,

짓다만 시들이

But whose words

우리를 살게 만들지

Make us live

내가 왜 그랬잖아요

Remember how I said

우린 저 별 대신

That in the place of that star

살아갈 거라며

We would live on

제가 늘 그랬잖아요

Like I always used to say

아픈 시대에 핀

When you take the spring in May

오월을 삼키면

That blooms after painful times

아카시아 향이 나더라

It carries the scent of acacia

아카시아 향이 나더라

It carries the scent of acacia

남겨진 사람에게 전해요

Tell the people left behind that

죽어도 따라오면 안돼요

You can't follow anyone into death

떠나간 사람 이제 못 봐요

Now, you can't see the ones who've departed

꿈을 꾸기 전엔

Only in your dreams can you see them again

난 늘 이런 방 안에서만

In a room like this, I'm always

되새기고 또 잊어버리고

Remembering and forgetting again

남들이 남겨놓은 위로에

The comfort that others have left me

낱말만 주워다 입만 담은

Their words only made me shut my mouth

어른이죠

That's the kind of adult I am

내가 왜 그랬잖아요

Remember how I said

별은 우릴 대신

How that star died

죽어간 거라고

In our place

제가 늘 그랬잖아요

Like I always used to say say

가쁜 숨을 내쉰

When you pass a neighborhood

동네를 지나면

That has blown out a breath

아카시아 향이 나더라

It carries the scent of acacia

아카시아 향이 나더라

It carries the scent of acacia

그 날 잠도 못 잤잖아요

You couldn't even sleep that night

눈 매워 슬피 울고 참았잖아요

Your eyes burned, you cried and endured it

내가 어떻게 잠을 자요

How, then could I have slept

밤마다 쉴 새 없이 보살필 테요

I promise to take care of you every night

주무셔요

So please sleep

건강하셔요

Be healthy

제 말 안 들리까 봐요

In case you can't hear my words

이렇게 적어서

I'm writing them down like this

노래로 보내요

In a song and sending it to you

해가 넘어간 다음에

After the sun has set

불 꺼진 하늘에

When the light goes out from the sky

남겨진 별들엔

And only the stars remain

아카시아 향이 나더라

It carries the scent of acacia

아카시아 향이 나더라

It carries the scent of acacia
